Not sure what you mean by "exact match". "SELECT docid FROM fts_table WHERE col MATCH 'string'" will return docids for rows which contain 'string'. It's not "exact" in the sense that by default matching is case-insensitive. If you need to find "eXact", then fts can't do it directly, but you could do post-processing. Maybe "SELECT docid, col FROM fts_table WHERE col MATCH 'eXact' HAVING col LIKE '%eXact%'". That would also match cases where "exact" is present as a word and "eXact" is a substring of a larger string. My syntax might be wrong, but the overall picture should be something like that. Also, you could of course use AND instead of HAVING (I used HAVING mainly because I want the fts index for finding the possibilities then the expression to filter them). -scott _______________________________________________ sqlite-users mailing list sqlite-users@sqlite.org http://sqlite.org:8080/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/sqlite-users
